Abstract:
When an interface on a host is initialized, the host transmits Router
Solicitations in order to minimize the amount of time it needs to
wait until the next unsolicited multicast Router Advertisement is
received. In certain scenarios, these router solicitations
transmitted by the host might be lost. This document specifies a
mechanism for hosts to cope with the loss of the initial Router
Solicitations. Furthermore, on some links, unsolicited multicast
Router Advertisements are never sent and the mechanism in this
document is intended to work even in such scenarios.
